Last weekend the Marblehead Christmas Walk took place and was filled with fun activities for all. As Deb payson, Marblehead Chamber of Commerce executive director said, “It is basically a celebration of Christmas and the holiday spirit. Last year, the streets were packed five to 10 people deep, I’ve never seen so many people in town, it was great.”

As the 44th year of the event, it included four days of activities with more than 100 events. There was a parade, tree lighting, Santa Clause coming by sea and loads of entertainment. The event was organized by the Marblehead Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the chamber’s local business members.

Pawsitively Marblehead started the festivities on Thursday night with a preview party serving wine and cheese. They had a Trunk Show with an Up Country designer dog collars and dog clothing on display.

There was a free trolly on Saturday and Sunday to bring visitors downtown from parking lots farther away. This was sponsored by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and NE Moves Mortgage.

The tree lighting was hosted by the National Grand Bank and the parade was led by the Board of Selectman and Marblehead native US Rep-elect Seth Moulton.
